%X In the context of Labour Law, the concept of violence in the workplace covers a very wide area. In general, physical violence, sexual or psychological harassment constitute the appearance of violence in the workplace. Violence at the workplace can be realized against employee or the family members of employee. Also it can be realized against employer or the representative of employer or their family members. In the other hand, it can be possible for employees working at the workplace to use physical or psychological violence to each other or it can be possible to use violence against employee by third parties outside the workplace. Labour Law, which has a dynamic structure, is an area where many legal changes take place. The first change about our research is the Article 417/1 of the Turkish Code of Obligations no. 6098.
